-Yes, how much

[ Indistinct conversations ]
-It's one for $10,
or I can hook you up
with 3 for $50.
-I'll just take the one.
-Clever guy, ain't you?
-Um, excuse me. Aah!
-[ Growls ]
I'd quit doing business
around these parts if I was you.
-Yeah, well, it's
a free country, buddy.
-You ain't wrong,
but let me show you
how we define freedom.

-What is it, Morty?
-They're coming fast, Rick.
Get the hell out of there!
-I'm in the middle of something.
Using the wormhole formula
makes it
so that an infinite amount
of space
could fit into
a bathtub-sized area.
You don't even need a stupidly
huge contraption like this
to make CP transformation
possible.
It's painfully obvious!
-They're already on top of you.
I'm headed your way now.
Run for it, Rick. Run!
-I've got nothing
to do with your little army.
Just leave me the hell
out of it.

-Grandpa, do you --
-Stop it.
-I'm not your Rick, kid.
-So, I call you --
-Jesus, I'm just Rick.
I'm plain, old Rick.
-Morty Smith.
This little shithead is
the Earthling responsible
for ruining all of our
major operations lately.
He's the grandson
of the infamous Rick Sanchez.
-Are you kidding me?
You don't mess around
with that gene pool.
-Eliminate him immediately,
or you can kiss any
future promotions goodbye, sir.
-Oh, my God! What else?
-This woman has been seen
working alongside Morty Smith
as his partner in crime.
-She's that race
with memories of the future.
But we killed them all.
-We killed who now?
-That girl knows the future.

-Denizens of planet Yalla Rata,
we are here to free you
from a system of injustice
and build a peaceful and
secure society in its place.
This planet shall
now be governed
by the Galactic Federation.
For the safety of everyone,
any display of resistance
will be firmly dealt with.
You are advised to follow
our orders immediately.
-Stay on your guard, Elle.
-You can relax.
It's gonna be just fine.
-Hmm?
-Hmm?
Hmm
-You've got some real guts,
missy.
I like your style.
You've earned my trust.
-The shields of the main ship
will drop briefly
as it comes down to make
a landing.
That's our only chance
to strike.

-Space Morty, otherwise
known as Morty Smith,
is to be recognized
as an honorary citizen
at the independence ceremony.
-He's a precious member
of my family.
-Make him your partner
for just a simple annual fee.
-Morty Smith, my man.
-Huh?
-Thanks to your brave efforts,
team morale
has never been higher.
-Aah!
Don't thank me.
-What?
-She's the entire reason
why I can keep on fighting.
Elle is the one who gives
me the strength I need.
Hmm? Huh?
-[ Moaning ]
-That girl knows the future.
[ Gulping ]
[ Belches ]
Or, more specifically,
she can perceive the future
in the same way as the past.
Although she knows the future,
she cannot change it,
just like
how we can't change the past.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
-[ Groaning ]
Huh?
Aah!
-Huh?
-Ah! Take it from me.
A good president
doesn't hesitate to take action.
All you have to do
is plug this into your ear,
and everything you do
will become virtuous.
-So, then, does that mean
I won't have any more critics?
-Those won't go away.
This directly connects
your brain
and lowers the level
of cognizance.
You following me, bitch?
At the very least,
it'll let you believe
that you're in the right
while you do your "job."
-Huh.
-And I've even made enough
for your flunkies to use
on the house.
You can all live
in a happy fantasy land,
no matter what the world thinks.
It'll stop
your annoying conscience
from getting in the way.
Total freedom, baby!
-[ Laughs ] Fantastic.
-Hell, yes!
Papa can afford
to corner the Xenus market!
-You know this has
been making the rounds lately.
He's your grandson, right?
-The whole suit is equipped
with a ton of weapons.
-Huh? Huh? Oh!
Hmm-mm!
-[ Mumbles ]
[ Thud ]
-It's really cool, but
kind of hard to move around in.
-Well, champ,
now that you've got
a bounty on your head,
we gotta make sure
you're prepared, right?
-Mm!
♪♪
-Mm.
[ People laughing,

-Gosh,
Earthling food is so tasty.
-Mm-hmm!
Mm-mm.
Except the hot dogs
on this planet
have a big pickle
instead of a wiener.
-Look! It's Space Morty!
-Hmm?
-[ Giggling ]
Will you take
a picture with us?
[ Giggles ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
Thank you!
-Awesome!
-Hmm.
-Hmm? Something wrong?
-Hmmhmm.
It's my fault you
got dragged into this.
-Mm-hmm.
But it was destined to happen,
right?
Elle, I appreciate you
and what you do.
Y-you know?
Each day with you
is so wonderful and amazing.
I feel like the two of us can do
anything when we're together.
-Time is three-dimensional
for her.
-Huh?
-Are you brain dead or what?
Okay, listen carefully.
From her perspective,
time flows from past to future
but also from future to past.
She can perceive all of that
as a single whole,
the entirety of time.
And I mean it --
like a gestalt of time.
-[ Snoring ]
Or, in other words
[ Gulps, belches ]
she can perceive the moment
of her death
at the moment of her birth.
-[ Yawns ]
♪♪
-We can't even imagine
what that's like.
Or, actually, maybe it's more
that we can't see time
as something visible.
Happy accidents, huh, Morty?
-Be honest.
Don't I freak you out?
-Why would you?
-It's just that a lot
of people are afraid of me
or just don't want to be
around me.
-You don't scare me at all.
-Huh?
-Ah! Mm!
In fact [Gulping] I feel my best
when I'm with you.
-She's aware of every second
before it happens.
She knows exactly what
she will do
and how the people around her
will respond.
But, despite that,
she has no choice but to accept
a future that can't be changed.
[ Gulps, belches ]
It would drive me insane.
-You also have a present,
right, Elle?
-A present?
-I mean, right now,
this very moment.
-The present, this exact point
in time, exists in multitudes.
-Oh, yes! Of course.
It's no different
from you humans.
The only thing
that's certain is now,
this very moment.
What you think of as the present
is really just a small speck
of time.
In the moment the future comes,
it turns into the past.
That little tiny speck of now
exists right in between
a perpetual future and past.
And inside of that small speck
is where we get to live
out our lives.
-From what I see,
the present is bright.
You know? It's very bright.
H-hold up, Rick.
Doesn't the universe split off
into countless branches?
I mean, you know,
any future is possible?
-Sure,
there are countless branches,
but the universe only splits
into worlds
that are actually conceivable.
Everybody understands that,
Morty.
They just don't want
to admit it.
A future that has no chance
of existing will never come
at least normally.
And in the universe
that you're from,
there should have been a zero
chance of meeting with Elle.

-You know how all this ends,
don't you, Elle?
-The future is simply
the past's inverse,
and the future decides the past,
which is why you know how
this ends just as well as I do.
-[ Belches ]
Now, that's a smartass way
to dodge a question.
-I wasn't dodging anything.
You understand, right?
You are the one who is
regretting the future right now.
♪♪
-[ Moaning ]
-Look, I want to change
the crappy future
as much as the next guy.
That's why I do a little
resisting every now and then.

Um, Rick?
Grandpa?!
[ Static crackling ]
Huh?
-Better wake your butt up,
Morty!
-Huh?
